NILAND, Calif. (KYMA, KECY)-Three men involved in a human smuggling attempt were arrested Saturday at the Highway 111 checkpoint.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says after the men were arrested, they were transported for further processing.

The man was sentenced to 6 months for his conviction.
The 33-year-old had previously been removed from the U.S. in 2011.
